Life Days 2022 Family Info coming in backpacks TOMORROW
Please keep your eyes open for a BRIGHT YELLOW packet coming home tomorrow in backpacks. This is the FAMILY RESPONSE SHEET that we ask every family to complete, getting involved in Life Days 2022. In the meantime, please do the following:
Consider what friends, family and business acquaintances you will approach asking for a donation (monetary or auction item).
Become familiar with what Life Days will include… among other things:
online auction Oct 7-14 prior to the big events
kids activities, including kids ticket auction, inflatables, and “That Kid Place”
Friday night movie special showing of “Family Camp” which will be held at Living Hope Community Church
Saturday Breakfast and Saturday night Pork Chop meal
Silent (starting in the afternoon) and Live Auction Saturday evening
fundraiser items for sale (coffee, pies, popcorn)
15th anniversary t-shirts!
and more
Set aside your weekend October 14-15 and plan to attend, invite friends and family, and spread the word about all the events going on. And be ready to volunteer your time and energy!
As information comes out over the next few weeks (social media, email, radio, paper, etc), commit to passing this information on to your churches, friends and families.
It takes the whole community of Christian Life Academy to make Life Days 2022 a success.

There is a remaining need for 2 volunteers in the office. This role assists with daily flow of the office and supports the teachers by making copies and various other tasks as they arise. Days currently needed are Mondays and Thursdays but any time you can give is greatly appreciated! Please consider giving to the ministry at CLA through volunteering!
From the Principal's Desk
Are you feeling overwhelmed? I know I do sometimes. This fall has seemed very busy (and fall doesn’t officially start until next week! wow!),. But it has helped me greatly to spend time each day with my Bible, reading God’s Word. It has also helped to have other Christ-followers to share my burdens and to pray together. My hope and prayer is that each of us would find that space to read, pray, share with friends… and remember that God is with us. Nothing overwhelms our Heavenly Father!
Blessings!
Mr. Horning
